[Grig de Griz]

Somebody knows the format of fonts in MoO2? Formats, known for me, of a DOS is not similar. There can be as well as with a graphics - their own invention. I do not know...

Hmm. I guess he meant the font in the game. Looks a bit like arial?

[Grig de Griz]

Hmm... I write the program for unpacking resources LBX for MoO2, because did not see worthy clones such programmatic thing. I writing for entertainment, so only I shall complete I shall present for critics of a public.
By the current moment I understood with formats for LBX, pictures, graphic pallets, text, video, sounds, leaders. Yet I can not understand the format of fonts. The format of a font is not similar to formats of fonts DOS or Windows. There can be it raster, but it have many parameters in header. While I conduct works, hoped, that there can be someone disposes the given information.

@ Grig de Griz

You said you understand the format of lbx format. Can your programm export the picture?

Or can you write how i can programm this?

Thank you

[Grig de Griz]

I did not write export from BMP in MoO2 Picture Frame (only MoO2 Picture Frame in BMP), but I do not see in it of complexity.
I think to add to my program a help file with the description of formats, but it now in work (there is only russian version). Besides, it should be translated into the literary English language, in it I need the help of the english-speaking people.
Now I work above the format of fonts. Before ending work I do not think to introduce beta version of the program.

You can help me with the analysis of font formats or with translation of help. It would be good.

I search a exporter for lbx file to bmp.

I can help you if you want. but my english is nod realy good and for decode the files i never made it jet.

Your programm can export all kind of pictures of the game? The animatet researchpicture too?

For what you make this programm?

[Grig de Griz]

LBX is an archive of miscellaneous files. Including pictures (graphic). In MoO2 only one kind of graphic files, I have called its Picture Frames. The frame can be and one, or can be many, then it already animation.

I write program radium entertainment, but it would not be desirable to spread crude beta. Wait slightly.

[perro1]

is the font Format the last you need for finishing your programm or would you add still more thinks?

Thanks for your respond

(PS are you looking you PM?)

[Grig de Griz]

After the analysis of a font and removals of small bugs I shall run the first beta. Or without fonts, if not I can fast unpack. Week or two week.

Grig:
I will be happy to assist you by correcting the spelling, vocabulary and grammar -- so that it is more correct and readable in English. I'm sorry but I do not read/write in any other language!

Please feel free to send any documentation to me in English, though... MS Word DOC or RTF or TXT files...
